The 19th century was characterized by industrialization, especially in the textile sector. In 1860, one of the first workers' settlements of a textile company was built. Like all of Alsace (except Belfort), Cernay became part of the German Empire in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War, where it remained until 1918. During the First World War, Sennheim was on the front lines and was approximately 80 percent destroyed.

Like all of Alsace (except Belfort), Cernay became part of the German Empire in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War, where it remained until 1918. During the First World War, Sennheim was on the front lines and was approximately 80 percent destroyed. After two decades of recovery, German troops marched into the town again on June 17, 1940. From 1940 to 1945, the Waffen-SS Sennheim training camp was located here in a former home for the mentally ill, where mainly non-commissioned officers from French-speaking countries, such as those for the Charlemagne Division, were trained. According to Yad Vashem, fifteen former Jewish residents of the community perished in the Holocaust. The town was again affected during the fighting for the Alsace bridgehead (Poche de Colmar).

The VV221 cycle route is part of the EuroVélo 5 network and begins in Ensisheim at the Thur bridge and ends in Cernay after about 17 km. The route initially runs alongside the road, then past ponds and finally through a wooded area. It runs alongside the Thur and passes the Alsatian Ecomuseum (another route leads to Ungersheim via the Petit Prince Park). The Green Route then winds along the Thur, passing Pulversheim, Staffelfelden, and Wittelsheim, and finally reaches Cernay, still along the Thur.

Located close to the centre, the campsite offers quiet, shady pitches, a heated swimming pool to relax your legs, and basic facilities such as a shop and bread service. With its flat access, nearby supermarkets and restaurants, it is a practical and pleasant place to recharge your batteries for the next stage."

Cernay, a charming town on the edge of the Vosges Mountains, breathes history. Once a fortified medieval town, it played an important role in Alsace throughout the centuries. You can still find remains of ramparts, towers and the impressive Porte de Thann, now a museum. Cernay was badly damaged during both world wars, but it has risen again with character. Today, the town combines its rich heritage with a green, peaceful location close to the Route des Crêtes – ideal for a historical stopover on your bike tour.

A must-see place in the truest sense of the word, a whole page of French history lies before your eyes and reminds everyone that those who fought and died here did so for all of us...
